Terminology made easy: Doors & frames

What do ‘DIN direction left’ and ‘DIN direction right’ mean? What exactly are the different types of door leaf cores? And what do words like ‘rebated’ or ‘flush-closing’ mean in the context of door leaves? We are happy to provide you with clear, concise explanations of these and other important terms related to doors and frames.

Maybe your doors don’t need to meet any special requirements, apart from adhering to a basic standard of quality – in that case, our affordable special honeycomb core is definitely the right choice for you.

Solid chipboard core

A solid chipboard core is a good choice for doors that are exposed to high wear. It is also recommendable for apartment entrance doors that have to comply with noise protection requirements, in combination with floor sealing.

Hollow chipboard core

For home builders whose primary focus is quality, we recommend interior doors with a hollow chipboard core. They are the sturdiest option, providing a maximum of stability and ensuring that the door will last for many years to come.

A brief discourse on the subject of fittings

How open or closed do you wish to be? The selection of locks also plays a role in making you feel at home with your new doors. Are there doors such as apartment entrance doors or a door to the boiler room where the use of a safety lock would make sense or is even mandatory? Should a special bathroom door lock be fitted on the bathroom door?

Hinges for wooden frames

It’s worth taking a look at the hinges, too. There are different models available depending on the type of door frame and the stress exerted on it. Tectus TE 340 is a treat for both technology and design enthusiasts. The hinge is invisible when the door is closed, the flush-closing door merges directly with the frame. Minimalist design with maximum ambience.
